The ESS Vision 2020 is a common strategic response of the European Statistical System (Eurostat, EU Member States and EFTA countries) to the challenges that official statistics is facing. It was adopted by the ESS Committee in May 2014.

The ESS Vision 2020 identifies five key areas in which common action is needed in order for European statistics to be "fit for the future”.

The implementation of the ESS Vision 2020 is taken forward by progressing on a portfolio of common projects that is complemented by "supporting frameworks". The implementation is steered by a dedicated ESS governance structure.

ESS Vision 2020 News, a quarterly newsletter, presents current developments related to the ESS Vision 2020 implementation, the people involved at national and EU level and a number of other topics of interest.
